Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any linear bearing with this shaft?

Yes, as long as the bearing or bushing is intended for a diameter of fi=40 mm. You choose the bearing type (ball, plain, linear carriage) according to the design of the mechanism.

How does the stainless version differ from the standard one?

The stainless version is made of steel X46Cr13 - it withstands contact with water and moisture without rusting, unlike steel Cf53, which has to be protected with oil in such conditions.

Can this shaft be used for rotary motion?

A linear shaft is designed for linear (sliding) motion together with a linear bearing or bushing - it is not a drive shaft transmitting torque, such as a splined shaft.

Does this shaft need lubrication or maintenance?

It needs no anti-corrosion protection. Lubrication is usually needed by the mating linear bearing, not by the shaft itself.

Where are fi=40 linear shafts used?

Large-diameter linear shafts are used in heavy linear axes of machines, presses, production lines, manipulators and internal transport equipment - wherever the linear guide carries high loads.
